UnLove Me - The Angels Warriors MC Complete Trilogy Box Set
All 3 ebooks will be combined together!! LIMITED TIME ONLY
UnKiss Me
After years suffering abuse at the hands of her father and protecting her sister, Eden Blake takes a chance. She calls on the Angels Warriors MC asking for help. She just never expected that call would bring her face to face with her past—Jasper “Angel” Hughes. He’s the first man she ever loved and the new President of the Angels Warriors MC. And now, he’s vowing to win Eden back and never let her go again.
UnTouch Me
Lilly Mayer has always lived a simple life. She’s loyal – maybe too loyal since it’s cost her the love of her life. And that love, Vincent “Zippo” Torino, is willing to use her loyalty to Eden as his own escape from a hell he created. He doesn’t give a damn that he’s leaving the woman he loves, pregnant with his child, behind – not when he has to protect his own destructive secret. And not when he’s sure she’s going to beat him to the punch and leave first.
UnBreak This Heart
After she’s betrayed by her husband, Hilary DeVaughn, is done. But when she gets a phone call to come back home for Eden years later, she drops everything to return to the place where her heart was shattered. When she finally hands Mason “Reaper” Harris divorce papers, will he be willing to let her go so easily? Or will their secrets keep them torn apart?

This was an unexpected tale. The UnLove me trilogy was surprisingly interesting. I wasn't expecting such a convoluted & intertwining tale. It was reminiscent of the butterfly effect/ cause & effect. One life's situation/decisions can cause such a complex series of effects not just in that one person's life but for people all around them. It can be a devastating & life altering domino effect. I score this 4 stars

January 8, 201630% is as far as I can get into this. While UnLove Me has a great premise, and I usually love MC books, this one has far too many problems with timeline and alternating POV's. The writing itself is good, but I couldn't follow who all the characters were, within 30% you read from 6 or more characters, and weeks of time are skipped with no separation between one minute to the next. Unfortunately, I won't be finishing this book.

Here is my review of each of the books-
Unkiss Me
Talk about starting a series off with a bang-this was a fantastic start to the series.
Eden calls on the Angels Warriors MC for protection for herself and her little sister from her father. The Angels Warriors are known for protecting women and children. Eden didn't realise that the president of the MC is Jasper who broke her heart years ago.
I really loved this story. As secrets unfold between Eden and Jasper I was gripped. Great romantic suspense filled with drama. I loved it and can't wait for more of this series.
Untouch Me
Make sure you read book one Unkiss Me before you read this one. Book one was Eden and Jaspers story. Now we get to read Vinny and Lily's story.
This is an unputdownable story. I seriously couldn't read it fast enough. Plenty of secrets and lies enfold.
This is an emotional roller coaster of a story. What an ending!! Really hope book 3 is out soon.
Unbreak This Heart
This is the third book in this series. Make sure you read Unkiss Me and Untouch Me before you start on this book.
This is Mason and Hilary's story although with a whoop of joy we do get to read about the other couples we met in previous books.
I'm not gonna go into the storyline as I don't wanna spoil it. I will say I read this in one sitting. It's an unputdownable book and my favourite of the series. Saved the best til last. Great roller coaster of emotions the author took me on. Loved it.
If your looking for an MC series then I highly recommend this series. Ill definitely be keeping these on my kindle for a re- read.
This is an amazing trilogy. I’m so looking forward to reading more from this author.

UnLove me is the full trilogy of Angels Warriors MC series. The first part UnKiss me the main characters are Eden and Jasper (aka Angel). Eden's past is full of abuse and violence by her father, Angel is her first (and only love), also is the President of the Angels Warriors and he'll do everything to save her from him and win her back once he learns all her secrets.
UnTouch Me is the second part is Lilly's and Vincent's (aka Zippo) story. Lilly is pregnant but Vincent has walk away from her in order to protect his sinful secret. What will happen when Lilly learns the truth about Vincent????
UnBreak This Heart The final part is Hilary's and Mason's (aka Reaper) story. Hilary left when she discovered her husband's betrayal and asks for a divorce but Mason won't let her walk away so easily from him.
Well my favorite was the first story, i totally fall in love with both characters Eden has a very strong personality,she doesn't give up despite her violent past she tries her best and does everything by herself with the support from her friends (Lilly and Hilary) for the sake of her little sister (everything she does, she does it for her). I really admire her character it's not easy for someone that has suffer from abuse to act like her (SO AN APPLAUSE FROM ME)...
Angel on the other hand, after so many years never forgot Eden and his love for her..His character has its flaws, he is not so strong like hers (he falls dip in some parts of the story) but he remains a sexy, alpha male with caring side (especially for children his MC tries to rescue).
Another favorite of me character is Hilary i love her personality so much. She is a tough Bitch..
Although i didn't like her story especially the end..not because of her, it was Mason's character the problem for me in some parts i don't wanna spoil he frustrate me A LOT..the same thing with Lilly's and Vincent's story. Ooh that story my GOD i'm so so angry again not the problem with Lilly's character although she also has flaws but especially with Vincent grrr... WHY MAN TELL ME...WHY???????
Really???? How can you be OK with the THINGS that he's done like is an everyday thing (like he broke a plate)..Are for real guys, they talk to each other when they learn what he's done and act normal, I CAN'T EVEN EXPRESS MY FEELINGS AND I DON'T WANNA SPOIL SO I'M GONNA STOP HERE. I will add only another one word FURIOUS.
I'm really sad to say that these series where not my favorite besides the first part, some things are not for me and when read them i get mad, really mad.

My Thoughts...
What a trilogy read 'The Angels Warriors MC' series. It was such a pleasure to get three reads all in one read. This novel was wonderfully well written. I did find that to get the complete story you will have to read it in order. Book one ...'UnKiss Me' was of Eden's and Jasper's story. Book two...'UnTouch Me,' was of Lily and Vinny's and Book three 'UnBreak Me' was of Hilary and Mason's story. I loved how these the three stories intertwined with each other. Each one of these stories deals with a secrets that had been kept and handled. 'UnLove Me' is full of suspense, lies, infidelity, revenge, sexy steamy scenes along with all the drama,[dysfunctional family drama], mystery, misunderstandings, humor, and sadness that will keep you turning the pages till the end. It will not be hard to keep up with the three stories because the author will repeat some of the scenes from a previous book 1, 2, or 3. I will say I liked that for the most part of the stories being repeated as the story in that particular part of the book will flow and intertwine very well into the rest of the story.
All six of these main characters were quite some individuals with some being wilder and even living some real crazy lives but considering that this is a motorcycle group story, I guess that would be expected. Along with the characters being well developed, portrayed and somewhat believable the reader will get ones one intriguing story after it all said and done. Now, I will say be ready for a read that is 'brutally violent, abusive, emotional and downright hard to read at times,' but if you can get passed all of that and continue on to the very end of this story, one will find you have one heck of a good trilogy that I would recommend to you.

Honest review thanks to Netgalley...
I am horrified, I only made it halfway through the second book and skimmed through the third. I can't even put into words how much I absolutely hated this, everything about it, sorry, I should say, I hated the male leads. I wanted to through my phone through the wall over and over again, I didn't see any redeeming qualities in any of them. I don't think I will ever be able to pick up a book by this author again.

GOD ALMIGHTY WHERE DO I START ?.....
I am absolutely BLOWN away !!. This trilogy is PHENOMENAL. There is so much going on I don't even know where to begin.....
It focuses on 3 couples and there journey together from youth to adult hood. Their loves, losses and EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
It is exceptionally well written with duel POV throughout which for me is a MUST, as I can understand then the head space of our leading ladies and guy's.
At the end I actually dropped my jaw.....I REFUSE TO GIVE A SPOILER AWAY but what I will say is Jeysus Dawn YOU WENT THERE GIRL AND IT BLOODY WORKED. I wanted my Disney ending for all, and when I sat lip wobbling.....you made it right !!. Sounds like a secret spy book doesn't it ?.....hell its better !!!.
I really don't have a favorite lady Eden, Lilly and Hilary were all bad ass. Although, as the books unraveled I must admit I was on the "its all Eden's fault" train....until it is all revealed.
Our guy's Angel, Zippo and Reaper....again I liked them all the same. I must admit I did want to hit each of them over the head individually for being stupid in their own way.....Angel - too stubborn !!. Zippo - YOU MIGHT NOT BE TOGETHER BUT LEAVE THE OTHER CHICK ALONE DUDE !!!, and Reaper - Violence....not cool man !!.
I absolutely devoured each book. I HOPE with everything in me that Dawn does continue this series. I am sooooo greedy....Hell yeah Tori and Hangman NEED THEIR BOOK. Mr Mystery MC Driver....purrr. I want T-bag's story. If I am on a role and believe me I AM !! I want Hunter and Rose and Elizabeth's books.....I need EVERYTHING....get the enthusiasm and picture ?. I LOVED THIS SERIES !!
ONE HUGE WELL DONE DAWN FOR AN OUTSTANDING TRILOGY !!

This trilogy is based on three complete different stories that intertwine in some at some point.
Jasper and Eden
Eden ahs suffered abused from her father the VP of the Notorious MC, Jasper has always had eyes for her and has always been watching her. They both have dark secrets that come to light.
Lilly and Vinnie
They grew up together but around that time he did not pay her any mind until his childhood sweetheart left him. He seems to have regained his vision and sees Lilly is not the girl he grew up with.
Hillary and Mason
They are the most complicated of the bunch . Too many misunderstanding and trust issues keep getting in their way to be happy. Plus also the MC starts to take up most of Mason's time which gets him in not so accident situations.
Overall these couples are what MC Romances should be about. They are a crazy bunch that had me hating them one mite and loving them the next but they sure made an impression on me.

5 Amazing stars!!!
I really loved the UnLove Me Trilogy boxset, which follows six friends on their rollercoaster of a journey through friendships and relationships. This is my first time reading anything in the MC genre and I can't wait to read more! I read this whole series in one weekend and was sad when it was over! This trilogy will definitely give you one hell of a book hangover and you might just need a few tissues throughout. You will want to throw your kindle or paperback across the room and yell at the characters to get their acts together. I went through so many emotions while reading and it was well worth it!
UnKiss Me
We meet Jasper and Eden, Vinny and Lilly, and Mason and Hilary in this debut novel of the Angel Warriors MC series. They have all been close knit friends since before high school and they have gone through most of life's struggles together. This first book is from Jasper and Eden's perspective. We learn that Jasper 'Angel' Hughes is apart of the Angel Warriors MC, formerly known as the Satan's Law MC. Him and the guys are trying to clean up his father's mess and turn the club around to where they actually have a good reputation, instead of being known for booze, drugs, guns, and girls. Eden on the other hand is trying to get out from underneath her father's abusive hands. A total misunderstanding and Eden seeing something she shouldn't have causes her to run away and stay gone for years without letting anyone know until she finds out she has a sister who she has to go back and protect. When her father goes to prison for trying to kill her, she is finally 'free'. But once he is set to be released, she hesitantly calls on the Angel Warriors MC for protection, not knowing that Jasper and the rest of the guys were the guys behind it. With Jasper back in her life, Eden suddenly has to answer for herself and why she ran away without a word, also try to keep the rest of her life changing secrets from him. Will her secrets tear them apart forever?
This was my favorite out of the series! I loved Jasper and Eden and their connection and relationship.
UnTouch Me
When Eden's secrets all come, Lilly has a lot to answer to from Vinny. She knew where Eden was and even kept in contact with her and she never told any of the guys. Jasper was Vinny 'Zippo' Torino's best friend and he feels betrayed by Lilly from keeping that from them, especially since they could have really protected and helped Eden against her father. But Zippo has secrets too, and they would absolutely destroy Lilly and make her leave him forever if she ever found out. Lilly and Zippo have an on and off again relationship with a lot of 'cheating' on Zippo's part. This was my least favorite book of the series. I could not stand Zippo and his way of thinking and personally don't think Lilly or any girl should have stayed with him.
UnBreak Me
The third and final book of the series is told from Mason and Hilary's POV. Mason is the bad boy of the group and the one who took Satan's Law which was under Jasper's father Vic's rule at the time seriously. He followed everything Vic told him to do, even murder and sleeping with hookers, even though he had Hilary. Although he changed his ways after the changeover to Angel's Warriors took place, I believe he still had a very heavy conscious of what he did in his past. This took a huge toll on his and Hilary's marriage and caused him to become abusive, both verbally and physically. He even accused her of cheating, even though he was the one stepping out on his wife. This caused Hilary to leave him and not return for nine years. She finally returned when Eden needed protection, but her and Mason's relationship was more of the same. This book will definitely break you and I highly recommend you bring tissues along for the ride! I hated Mason throughout this book and he was always the one I was really curious to know more about, but I think I understand him and his broody ways more after reading his story.
This series was amazing and you have to read all of them, and in order, for you to really understand and to get closure. Each one ends in a cliffhanger that will have you reeling and ready to dive headfirst in to the next book! The UnLove Me Trilogy is filled with secrets, danger, murder, suspense, raw passion, tears, anger, and everything that makes a book great! This was my first time reading anything by the author and I can't wait to read more of her work!

Man, what a book! I'm guessing the author has a Son's on Anarchy obsession - no problem, I did too! This thing just kept going and going and I wanted so badly to skip several parts, but was afraid I would miss something crucial. I just didn't think it would ever end!!! I am glad, though, I didn't skip anything. This one was so busy!
Eden and Jasper (Angel), Lilly and Vinny (Zippo), & Hilary and Mason (Reaper) all grew up together and were high school sweethearts. Eden, dealing with an extremely abusive and psychotic father, ran away to save her life. Everyone else left behind was devastated without knowing what happened to make her leave without telling anyone. I'm not going to give many details in this review because there are so many to make the story complete, but Eden had a very good reason for leaving and not coming back until she did. Only the girls knew what happened and kept her secret, which caused them their own hell with their men in the long run.
Angel seemed like he was going to be amazing until he got a few surprises at a bbq. Then, he turned into a major dick. Kind of reminded me of Jax on SOA.
Zippo, well, he's just an all-around mess. I completely side with Lilly all the way through their story. I loved her character, I just wish she would have shut it all down in the beginning, but she stepped up and surprised me.
Reaper, jeez...he's a prick and a psycho. Too insecure, too possessive, and the first time he got physical with Hilary, I didn't like him. And Hilary was a Godsend to everyone!
These guys, I loved to hate them and couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
This story is pretty gruesome, but easy to skip over those paragraphs if it's too descriptive, and it's pretty awesome. This isn't my usual style of reading, which makes me want to pat myself of the back that much more for finishing it.
The ending isn't what I was hoping for, but again, it was a surprise.
I hardly ever comment on the editing on books I've read from Netgalley, in fact, I never have. But, I had to re-read several parts because there was zero separation from one character to the next and it really threw me off. And, about 3/4 of the way through, there was the Epilogue. Not even close to the end. Then, at the end, there was another Epilogue. All of this really bugged me, but doesn't affect my opinion on the story.
I'll definitely be reading more from this author in the future. She is full of surprises.
I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Eden and Jasper (Angel), Lilly and Vinny (Zippo), & Hilary and Mason (Reaper) all grew up together and were high school sweethearts. Eden, dealing with an extremely abusive and psychotic father, ran away to save her life. Everyone else left behind was devastated without knowing what happened to make her leave without telling anyone. I'm not going to give many details in this review because there are so many to make the story complete, but Eden had a very good reason for leaving and not coming back until she did. Only the girls knew what happened and kept her secret, which caused them their own hell with their men in the long run.
Angel seemed like he was going to be amazing until he got a few surprises at a bbq. Then, he turned into a major dick. Kind of reminded me of Jax on SOA.
Zippo, well, he's just an all-around mess. I completely side with Lilly all the way through their story. I loved her character, I just wish she would have shut it all down in the beginning, but she stepped up and surprised me.
Reaper, jeez...he's a prick and a psycho. Too insecure, too possessive, and the first time he got physical with Hilary, I didn't like him. And Hilary was a Godsend to everyone!
These guys, I loved to hate them and couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
This story is pretty gruesome, but easy to skip over those paragraphs if it's too descriptive, and it's pretty awesome. This isn't my usual style of reading, which makes me want to pat myself of the back that much more for finishing it.
The ending isn't what I was hoping for, but again, it was a surprise.
I hardly ever comment on the editing on books I've read from Netgalley, in fact, I never have. But, I had to re-read several parts because there was zero separation from one character to the next and it really threw me off. And, about 3/4 of the way through, there was the Epilogue. Not even close to the end. Then, at the end, there was another Epilogue. All of this really bugged me, but doesn't affect my opinion on the story.
I'll definitely be reading more from this author in the future. She is full of surprises.

Wow !!! Wat een trilogie! Het is zo mooi, zo rauw, zo gruwelijk, zo aangrijpend, zo ruw, ... echt een totale mix aan gevoelens. Het ene moment teder en liefdevol, het volgende het totaal tegengestelde.
Wow!!! How I enjoyed this trilogy! It was so beautiful, so raw, so horrible, so breathtaking, so rough ... a true cocktail of emotions. One moment there was love and tenderness, the next the complete opposite.
Een mooie cover en knap gevonden titels.
A nice cover and touching titles.
Elk boek vertelt het verhaal van een van de koppels. Sommige delen worden herhaald omdat ze vanuit een ander standpunt zijn geschreven. Telkens weer ontdek je een ander geheim en er zijn wendingen die je niet zag aankomen. Het is erg moeilijk om het boek weg te leggen maar jammer genoeg moet een mens nog andere dingen doen dan enkel lezen.
Each book tells the story of one of the couples but parts are repeated because they are told from different points of view. Each time you discover another secret and there are a lot of twists you didn't see coming. It was very difficult to put the book away. Unfortunately people need to do other things than read.
Wat ik soms wel een beetje te vond, was het gebruik van het f*** en het s*** woord. Ok, ze passen wel in de context maar het hoefde niet echt zo vaak, in mijn ogen. Ook was er een actie waar ik vond dat ze het anders hadden moeten aanpakken en waar de mannen veel te laks waren.
There were only two things that disturbed me. One was the very frequent use of the f¨¨¨and the s*** words. I admit the were needed in the story but there was, in my opinion, no need to use them so often. The second thing is about a lack of action by the men in a certain situation. I don't understand why they didn't act differently.
Conclusie
Voor mij een super goed boek. Het einde bracht me tot tranen, maar sommige situaties deden me bijna kotsen terwijl andere mijn hart deden smelten of bloeden. 4,5 sterren.
For me a very, very good book. It had me in tears at the end; it had me wanting to barf sometimes and it made my hart melt or bleed at other occasions. 4,5 stars.

This book made me NUTZ....literally.... I love angst and bikers and MCs and this had it all, there were heroes I forgave and some I will NEVER forget or Forgive..you hear me Vinny...Mason?
The heroines I did like, I am not kidding the thing Vinny did and his lame excuses and justifications for his actions and then in the end the drama that Lilly is left with....OMG I hate you Vinny..hated your guts until the very end...
Angel and Eden were a angst filled mess, young love and BIG mistakes and evil interference made their love story more tragic, but Angel needed a smack up side the head too...lol
Mason and Hillary were also a angsty mess, he had the best heroine and yet made the worst choices at all times...
There is ALOT of angst and I DID cry..... a shocking thing occurs, my only complaint is I would have liked some justice for the girls in the sense of groveling and shame...none of the men did and pretty much the women took crap from them that combined with lying and cheating and abuse that made me cuss and toss the kindle a few times...lol
I think Dawn wrote a wonderful angsty set of books and I did enjoy them very much... I will also state I will be adding Dawn to my list of writers I want to read more from.
Thank you netgalley and Dawn Martens for the ARC. Honest review.

Title: Unlove Me - The Angels Warriors Complete Trilogy
Author: Dawn Martens
Genre: Romance/Suspense
Format: Ebook
Pages: 480
Rating: 4
Main Characters: Eden, Jasper, Hilary, Mason, Lilly, Vinny
Summary: Love is hard when there are secrets and lies. Eden, Hilary and Lilly are best friends from practically birth. Jasper, Mason and Vinny have the same relationship, best friends. As they all hang together as childern, playing and rough housing, crushes happen. Once high school starts and they start growing up, Jasper and Eden, Hilary and Mason, and Lilly and Vinny get together. Things start to go down hill when Eden takes off to hide from her abusive father, and Mason and Vinny have guilt issues.
Thoughts: I thought it was a pretty good story. Book 1 mostly deals with Eden and Jasper, while books 2 and 3 have a LOT of back story from each character's point of view. I liked the back stories because you learned what more about each character and what issues they are dealing with. My only problem with the story is how book 1 seemed to only be about Eden and Jasper, with not as much back story, and almost written different from books 2 and 3. Otherwise the story was great.

I think there were major formatting issues with this book...or at least the copy I received. There was no transition from book 1 to book 2 to book 3. You were reading, turned the page and suddenly the next chapter was in another character's point of view.
Speaking of points of view, it changed too many times and several times without warning. You would be reading from one person's perspective and literally the next sentence is someone else's point of view yet there was nothing to warn you this transition occurred.
Despite this, I enjoyed the first book. It was an interesting story line although it was kind of annoying that they both continued to hide secrets from each other.
Then there was the sudden shift, and we were reading about 2 other characters. This felt very repetitive because essentially you were reading the same story as book one just from their friends' points of view. We knew where they were up to a certain point and there was reference to the past. An entire book and a half was not needed on this topic.
I skimmed through book 2 and 3; neither held my interest.
I have read several books with a focus on MC and have loved every one of them so I don't think this is a matter of not understanding the genre.

What did I just read... The stories are intermingled rather than consecutive which was a real head trip to for me. Just when you get to a decent part, you start back over at the beginning with another character.
On top of that, none of the 3 heroes held any appeal whatsoever for me. Angel came the closest, but Vinny is with another woman throughout his time with Lily (Ross and Rachel all over, but that was cheating). And Mason... He put his hands to Hilary more than once. No. No go. Nada. You do not punch a woman in the face who just had a miscarriage while pregnant with your child when she's crying to a male friend because your ass is not there for her. No. A real man, even a heavily tortured hero is never gonna come back from that crap with me. Done.
This book just may have placed this author on my never to read list. It hurts to say it. Never have before, but this book was just not okay.

Royally pissed off...what kind of ending was that?? If anything Mason shouldve died since he was the biggest prick!! && Hillary should have had Masons ending! He ends up being the best of the best...bleh

so badly written. Such a bad story line. no realistic character development. Stilted conversations. Weird actions and behaviors - unrealistic... but, i'm only 5% or so in... i'll keep trying. 15% through and the story and feelings are just all over the place. The characters are all going on 5 years old with the way they are behaving and acting and feeling. The memory flashbacks are just weird. THe plot already has big holes... But for some reason.. i'm going to continue but have dropped my rating down to 1 star. If I make this to 50% it will be a miracle

WOW! This book was all kinds of amazing! I was on the edge of my seat just wanting to know what was going to happen next and when I thought I had it all figured out... I was so wrong. The ending had me crying so much I had to stop reading before I could continue... I just loved it!

read this trilogy one book at a time angel reaper and zippo with the love of their lives...excellent all 3
November 2, 2015
This is a tough one to read and then review. Possible spoilers and long windedness ahead...
**If you want to read a book for entertainment or an escape, I don't recommend this.
When it comes down to it, I didn't "enjoy" reading this. It was sad and upsetting for pretty much all 3 and the 3.5 novella that is a separate book from this trilogy. It was not a DNF for me and I barely skimmed through a page, but I also wanted to get it over with and end the sadness. It upset me personally (on to that reason next...)
I'm about to get into spoilers, so beware..
**If you can't read books where the hero has other women before/during/after a break (warning: safety gang!), then run away.
Each hero did this.
1. For Angel/Jasper it was after Eden left. I know he cared about Monica (I can't really remember her name now) and they went through a lot, but I didn't like him keeping it a secret. Also he basically became a man-whore with a lot of women after Eden left, including a drugged up scene with her on the couch and Eden walking up on them 3 months after she left (to tell him she was pregnant).
2. Vinny/Zippo says it wasn't cheating because (the classic Friends theory) he and Lily were on a break. For about 7 years he hopped between her and Kara's beds. He even knew he was going to get back together with Lily the first time he slept with Kara. Everyone accepted that reasoning, but it didn't work for me. This might have been the most troubling part of the book for me no matter how much I liked these characters individually the most.
3. Although book 3.5 is not part of this set, it does look back into the timeframe of these stories. I feel like Mason/Reaper's history was rewritten. There are hints of him not wanting to upset the original President by engaging with the club whores, but not to the degree it's said in book 3.5. Basically it's implied he projected his cheating on her (from even before their marriage).
**If anything with domestic abuse is a trigger for you, I don't recommend this.
Eden's abuse at the hands of her father is horrific with permanent scars on her face and body. It's horrible and how the book begins.
Mason's abuse is a little different. He's verbally and emotionally abusing to his wife, Hilary. I'm not sure how much happened and how often, but the domestic abuse turns into him slapping her and shoves her where she falls down some stairs. He also grabs Lily by the neck, threatens her and leaves a bruise. Again, 3.5 isn't part of this edition, but I have to bring it up because it doesn't seem to be a lesson learned. In his book with Moira, he grabs her by the neck and shoves her. She almost loses their baby. At this point with Moira, it shocked me he did it. Apparently Mason doesn't like to get the news his woman is pregnant. He's cruel emotionally and physically to Moira. I don't know how you ever erase those words he said to her. Later it seems to be all glossed over and forgiven with him getting help a week later (although keeping in mind it is a novella).
**If you don't like where one of the main characters (heroine or hero) dies, just don't go there with this one.
I'm not sure if the novella 3.5 was originally planned when these 3 were written. If not, many of the reviews for Mason and Hilary's story have a lot of readers upset over Hilary dying in the end. Her dying is actually in the epilogue of book 3 and then a few pages walk through her being brain dead, the baby delivered, taken off life support, blaming everything on Eden (I could actually see that point), and him then marrying and having children with the NICU nurse Moira. Book 3.5 picks up a few weeks or month after the funeral with Mason being angry then asking Moira out. Within a month they have sex (which she gets pregnant and he calls her Hilary) and then another month where she tells him she's pregnant (see domestic abuse above) and a week later he's proposing and getting counseling. Oh geez.
So why did I keep reading and give it 3 stars? Despite the subject and where the plot went, I think it was very well-written. I read these three together and didn't experience the cliffhanger experience, but I liked how the timelines for each story blended together. Book 1 focused on Eden and Jasper, but it wasn't resolved and the same for Book 2 centering on Vinny and Lily and so on. I do feel like Eden and Jasper's resolution got lost by the end. It was 6-12 months later until they got back together and I'm not really sure anyone other than Lily and Hilary know how his father threatened to hurt everyone if she came back. That was kind of a big detail!! Although I liked how it blended, it seemed the points of view from all of the characters changed from paragraph to paragraph (even though a chapter would be labeled one character). It's very possible that's a formatting issue from the ARC I received. In the end, the book gave me a big case of the feels. I didn't like those feels, but it left an impression that I won't forget (and not bad writing type).

UnKiss Me
I'm not a huge fan of MC, I've only read a few but I liked this author's writing style in another book I read. And wow, I am so glad I did. I fell in love with Eden from the very beginning. She is one of the most selfless, strongest heroines I've ever read. Not many woman could do the things she does, give up the things she did, and still be able to love with all her heart. Jasper seems pretty swoon-worthing but he has his moments, just like any other guy. I loved reading the flashbacks from their childhood and getting to know all the characters along the way. There are six of them total and they all are equally important. I laughed, I got very angry, and my heart broke but that's good, it means the author did her job. I felt so many emotions reading this book and I'm still thinking about how things played out, how things could've been different, and how far a person will go for love. Amazing job Dawn!
UnTouch Me
What the what?? Vinny, Vinny, Vinny!! I can't shake my head at him enough. A part of me loves him another part of me wants to rip his nuts off!! Okay now that is out of the way...wow, Dawn really knows how to destroy someone's life, she is an evil mastermind, I am convinced of this. Lilly and Vinny are never happy unless they are having sex. How long can a relationship last when you are broken up as much as you are together? Apparently Vinny doesn't understand what love is until it's too late. I feel for Lilly and their relationship only proves secrets always come out and when they do things are ten times worse than the truth ever would have been. Could Lilly and Vinny have had a strong, unbreakable foundation if Lilly hadn't kept Eden's secrets? Who knows but then we wouldn't have this awesome story and get to laugh, want to throw the kindle, and even think of ways to get Dawn back!! I loved how involved Dawn got my emotions into this story, I felt something until the very end. I loved reading more about all the characters in this book and getting a better insight to what they were thinking. Amazing job Dawn!
UnBreak This Heart
I am not quite sure how to start this review. I enjoyed getting to know these characters and was excited to find out how it all was going to end but at the same time I hated seeing it end because I wanted more! The next thing I have to say is all of the bad reviews and people complaining, shame on you! It takes a lot to write a book and sometimes the author can't control what happens, I will say one thing to you all, if you felt that strongly about this book then she did her job, she made you feel.
I was SHOCKED at a lot of things through this entire trilogy but nothing could have prepared me for Hilary and Mason's story. I liked Hilary and she knew what she wanted and exactly how to get that, to a point. She was a lot like Eden a very selfless person who loved harder than most. In the end it was her love that ruined her. Mason was a mystery to me the entire time and I only felt sick after reading all of his 'dealings' or whatever you want to call them. I wish we could have had more insight to his upbringing maybe that would have explained the way he just lost all emotion and let someone else take over his life. Hilary and Mason thought they could have forever but with all the secrets they harbored could that ever be a reality? I won't write spoilers just know that sometimes when life gets hard remember who you truly love. To say Dawn ended this with a bang would be an under statement, she KILLED the ending. I am still shaking days later and can't get this story out of my head. I loved it, I hated it, I want to do unimaginable things to Dawn. My heart is still lying on the floor somewhere and my head is shouting to get up and give her a standing ovation for evoking so many feelings and emotions from me. We get all the answers we've been searching since UnKiss Me, some answers aren't the ones we wanted but the characters decide what happens, not us.

I loved reading more about all the characters in this book and getting a better insight to what they were thinking. Amazing job Dawn!
UnBreak This Heart
I am not quite sure how to start this review. I enjoyed getting to know these characters and was excited to find out how it all was going to end but at the same time I hated seeing it end because I wanted more! The next thing I have to say is all of the bad reviews and people complaining, shame on you! It takes a lot to write a book and sometimes the author can't control what happens, I will say one thing to you all, if you felt that strongly about this book then she did her job, she made you feel.
I was SHOCKED at a lot of things through this entire trilogy but nothing could have prepared me for Hilary and Mason's story. I liked Hilary and she knew what she wanted and exactly how to get that, to a point. She was a lot like Eden a very selfless person who loved harder than most. In the end it was her love that ruined her. Mason was a mystery to me the entire time and I only felt sick after reading all of his 'dealings' or whatever you want to call them. I wish we could have had more insight to his upbringing maybe that would have explained the way he just lost all emotion and let someone else take over his life. Hilary and Mason thought they could have forever but with all the secrets they harbored could that ever be a reality? I won't write spoilers just know that sometimes when life gets hard remember who you truly love. To say Dawn ended this with a bang would be an under statement, she KILLED the ending. I am still shaking days later and can't get this story out of my head. I loved it, I hated it, I want to do unimaginable things to Dawn. My heart is still lying on the floor somewhere and my head is shouting to get up and give her a standing ovation for evoking so many feelings and emotions from me. We get all the answers we've been searching since UnKiss Me, some answers aren't the ones we wanted but the characters decide what happens, not us.

It is very hard to un-kiss someone, un-love someone and un-care about someone especially when you have the history that these two share.
Angel and Eden have known each other since childhood and along with their group of friends and "frenemies", they have shared those unique experiences that kids have growing up that cement their relationships forever...no matter what.
But...what happens when there are too many secrets, lies, misunderstandings, backstabbing and evil doers who want nothing more than to see Angel and Eden suffer and NEVER be together?
Eden and her little sister suffered more than any two little girls should ever have had to, and yet even after years away from the terrors in their lives, it is not over. Someone is after Angel and trying to ruin him and his club...and for all his good intentions (having an MC that serves and protects rather than rape and plunder), he just can't get a break...in life or love.
This is the first book in a new trilogy by Dawn Martens and it is fast paced, mysterious, sexy and at times downright vicious and mean. It explores a group of bikers who want to take care of innocent women and children who are victims of abuse and for the most part it is well written and engaging. It ends on a huge cliffhanger but thankfully I have the second book ready to go!
Book 2 is Lilly and Zippo/Vinny's story...plus we get a few more answers to questions and secrets that were not yet revealed in the first of the series.
UnTouch Me is like an emotional train wreck of a story...a cross between a biker book, murder mystery and angsty romance/melodrama all rolled into one...and again the ending leaves us with more questions and there were definitely a few WTH moments in there as the "bad guys" are slowly unveiled and what is surely the lead up to a big bang of a climax in the final book.
Babies, cheating, jealous rages, revenge and deep emotional connections made this one difficult to get through...I was hoping for some relief but my feelings were all over the place reading this book. I felt sorry for characters that I should have hated and I was disgusted with the behaviors of those who I should have felt empathy for! All I can say at this point, is bring on book three and hope my poor heart is made happy at the end!
The third book in this emotional and action packed trilogy will answer every and all questions about what happened, who did it and why.
This is Hilary and Mason's side of the story (each book features one of the couples and is told from their POV) and as with the first two books, it is so full of lies, revenge and dysfunctional family drama, that I was left drained by the time I finished reading.
The ending was slightly anti-climatic (you could sort of figure out that someone was not completely dealt with before the explosive finish) and all the ends were tied up neatly (with one very tragic and sad exception), but for the most part this was an interesting and very different saga of families living on the edge...girls who grow into women and having to learn that life can sometimes be very harsh if you are female... and boys who grow to be strong but sometimes dangerously volatile men.
If you loved Dawn Marten's other books, you will surely want to add this trilogy to your collection. Just be forwarned that is it brutally violent, very emotional and at times hard to read without getting upset. A glass of booze and some tissues would be handy.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This trilogy is the story of three girls who grow up together and form a long lasting friendship. They befriend three boys who are best friends too and their journeys bring out some very palpable emotions. It's a very gripping story!
Book 1 - Unkiss Me - Eden and Jasper aka "Angel"
Eden and Jasper are very close to each other. They have some fun time and Jasper knows that they will end up together when they are older. They start a promising relationship as they become of age but then one day, out of the blues, Eden disappears. Jasper doesn't have a clue of her whereabouts or why she left. She is running away from a dangerous home life but when she returns to see Jasper, she is devastated by what she sees. She leaves once more, taking her secrets with her. When she eventually returns, she seeks help and protection from the Angel Warriors. This MC is no longer what it was. It now revolves around helping the community. Eden is determined to avoid Jasper at all costs. When the Angel Warriors arrive on her door step. She is faced with Jasper aka Angel and now the President of the MC. From here on, it's a real emotional rollercoaster. They still love each other but the secrets they are both hiding could keep them apart forever. More to the point, are they brave enough to share these secrets with each other? What are the consequences if they do? This is one story which had me enthralled and I felt what they were both going through.
Book 2 - Untouch Me - Lilly and Vincent aka "Zippo"
Lilly and Vinni have this relationship where when things are good, they are really good but when things are bad, they get so much out of hand that they split up. They always end up together again though. Lilly is aware of Eden's secrets and has made a promise to keep it that way, difficult as it is. When Eden's secrets are revealed, Vinni loses it completely and threatens to walk away for good. The thing is that he himself is keeping secrets from Lilly. Their relationship is now at a point of no return. Lilly kept her friend's secrets out of loyalty. Now that Vinni is aware, instead of coming clean, he turns his back on her. Now is the time when she needs him the most but secrets have a way of finding their way out and when they do, Lilly is crushed. Will they be able to forgive and forget or live in misery?
Book 3 - Unbreak this Heart - Hilary and Mason aka "Reaper"
Hilary and Mason are childhood sweethearts who are now married. They have a comfortable and happy relationship until Mason becomes embroiled in some dark and dangerous activities. His personality changes with unreasonable behaviour and their relationship takes a turn for the worse. There are some misunderstandings which make matters worse. At this point, Mason's behaviour leaves a lot to be desired. Hilary ends up leaving and helping Eden. When she returns around the same time as Eden, nothing has changed between her and Mason. They remain hostile towards each other despite how they really feel. While all this is going on, someone is threatening to bring down the MC. All three girls are suddenly faced with mortal danger. Will the boys manage to save them? This part is heartwrenching.
This trilogy is about the one true love and the loss of loved ones. There is danger, betrayal, violence, vengeance, deceit, regrets and worse of all, the damage caused by the secrets. I would fully recommend to those who like hot romances with sexy bikers and foxy ladies.

I loved these characters. I have to say the ending was not at all what I was expecting. I was not happy with one of the couple’s outcome. When you read you will understand. There are some tear filled moments and some anger filled moments in this story. But all in all I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.
I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next story from this author.

A MC book with a twist. There was a hard core dangerous MC that was run by some ruthless men. This book revolves around three different couples and the journey they take from childhood throughout their adult lives.
Jasper and Eden’s story was about the abuse that Eden had endured at the hands of her father who happened to be the VP of the notorious MC. Jasper always had eyes for Eden even as children. He loved her sassy attitude. Jasper’s father was also the MC President. There were many secrets that these two have lived through which initially began because of her abuse that she endured from her father with the catalyst being the night that Eden saw her father kill her mother. It was Jasper who helped to turn the MC around once his father was out of the picture. He turned it into a MC that helped children. After many years apart it was because of this that Eden came back into Jasper’s life.
There was also Lilly and Vinnie who also grew up together the only difference being is that Vinnie did not really notice Lilly until his high school sweetheart went off to college. That’s when their romance grew. They too held many secrets from each other and from others within their group. It was because of some secrets that Lilly was keeping for Eden that she and Vinnie were having issues and it only grew from there. Their story brought about a lot of mixed feelings. There were times that Vinnie was my enemy number one and at other times that my heart hurt for him.
Then there was Hillary and Mason. Theirs was a volatile relationship that began in childhood also and had taken a nasty turn as Mason became more integrated within the old MC which was run by Jasper’s dad. There were so many lies and misunderstandings with these two that it was hard to keep track of. Their story also had to have moved me the most at the end. Yep, that’s when some tears came.
All six of these people lead some crazy lives both together and as individuals and they were always drawn to each other throughout their lifetimes. There were times that had you laughing and times that had you crying. They played hard and loved even harder. (wink, wink) There were definitely some pretty steamy times when it came to these people.

I received an ARC through Netgalley.
This book went right into the action and it never stopped going. Eden is willingly living in a nightmare in order to protect her little sister and when she seeks help, she unexpectedly finds her past. Jasper finally finds the woman he has been seeking, but there are many misunderstandings that prevents them from moving forward.
I love reading all the flashbacks, it really demonstrates how much things have changed from the past in the group. It is especially true among the men: Jasper, Mason and Vinny. Even their names change. The club plus the changes in there relationships makes them all stray off path.
Although you see a little bit of everyone(the HS gang), the first book focuses on Eden and Jasper relationship, the second on Lilly and Vinny and the third on Mason and Hilary. All the couples keep on hiding secrets or avoiding their problems, but it all comes back to haunt them.
I have love for all the characters but I especially love G-baby and Mrs. Shepard. G-baby is an old soul and Mrs. Shepard is old and allows herself to act any way she wants to act. She acts like a big bad wolf dressed in grandma's cloth but you can still hear the care in her bark. She sure has the funniest stories or rather she makes the funniest stories.
Luckily I read Unlove Me, it contained all three books and I wasn't waiting too long to settle the cliffhangers. Although I did have to wait some time but that just motivated me into reading as fast as I could because I wanted to know what was going on.
The big reveal at the end surprised me and everything that happens afterwards surprises me. It was sad but I understand how everything worked out better this way than to the alternative.
My favorite book was UnKiss Me, Eden and Jasper's story. Although I rate Book Two and Three Four stars, Book One is five stars, it's the start of so much emotions and issues that all the couples have to face. It has a special place in my heart. That being said I definitely had to read Book Two or Three because the cliffhangers left me wanting more. Book Three nicely wraps up all the loose ends and resolves the relationships. In each book, you can see how all the characters mature and start learning from their mistakes but it takes a big event to get them to improve their situations.

*WARNING* I'm probably gonna be pissed off and cussing somewhat with this book because I totally wasted my time reading this sorry excuse shit show of a book.
Skip this series if you hate stupid endings and cheaters.
First of all I totally forgot that I've already read the third book UnBreak This Heart before, and let me tell you it's still as horrible as the first time I read it. Actually the book isn't that bad, it's just that the ending horrible sucks and ruined the rest of the book for me. The same can be said for this book, that ending ruined this whole series. The first story UnKiss Me was pretty good. Learning about Angel and Eden and the history that the two had was sweet and the world building was good. Everything went downhill after the first story though. There was so many time I wanted to reach inside my tablet and strangle the characters for their stupidity or stab them with a rusty spoon just because reading about them were pissing me off.
Let me just say, everything comes down to the ending. If that ending didn't happen I would of had probably like this book better. Throughout the story the character that I felt the most sorry for was Hilary.
Out of all the ending that she could come up with that's the one that she's gone with. No wonder the only books that I like from this author are the ones where she co-wrote with another author, seeing as the ones where she only writes are just horrible.

***ARC Kindly provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review***
I loved the premise of the story. Life long friends turned lovers but with secrets to hide. Then add in a motor cycle club that is all about protecting children and a little bit of sabotage going on, you could have a winner here. But that wasn't the case at all with this one. Not only was it poorly written. The breaks for character changes were almost non-existent. Way too many times did I have to go back and re-read parts to make sure I understood whose POV I was reading from.
And that was another issue. WAY too many POV's without a clear distinction between them. Too many of the characters had similar characteristics and speech patterns that it was hard to keep them separate. All of them were more focused on the lies they were keeping from each other than on actually growing as a person/character. And the three main male characters were total tools. Seriously they acted like overgrown babies most of the time and then expected the women to just fall in line to whatever they wanted. Just ugh so frustrating.
I felt that a lot of the situations seemed a little far fetched too.
These were only a few of the many issues I had with this trilogy. I found myself skimming a majority of it and I can honestly say the only reason I finished it was because it was an ARC. I wanted to make sure I was able to provide a fully informed review. If it wasn't for that then I would have DNF'ed it at probably 15-20%.

These were only a few of the many issues I had with this trilogy. I found myself skimming a majority of it and I can honestly say the only reason I finished it was because it was an ARC. I wanted to make sure I was able to provide a fully informed review. If it wasn't for that then I would have DNF'ed it at probably 15-20%.
